Interesting story here... I had a 50D, which did quite well for birds. A nice buffer, a tough body, good framerate, etc. I got some great shots with it, incl lots of BIFs.

The 50D did nicely

It even captured flying fish.

I was happy with the results.

Then I bought a just-released T4i (650D) Rebel to use as a macro shooter and backup cam. Marginal build, frightfully small buffer and burst rate. Not what an advanced action shooter would ever choose as a primary camera.

And it kicked the reigning 50D’s butt. HARD. The autofocus keeper rate was waaay better than the higher specced camera, esp for BIFs. This was apparent immediately, and I ended up giving away the 50D within a month!

Will we have a repeat of this with the R7, HeHe??

Tune in next week for another dramatic chapter!
